Piano Recital and more

 I finished up my 6th piano recital here in Scripps Ranch.  I still stress over them like it is the first one although I know it is getting easier.  This year's theme was "Movies".  All the kids played music from the recital.  Sadly I didn't tell Damon to take any pictures so this is the only one I have from the night.  The boys did a great job.  We were so proud of them.  I'm relieved to be done.

We had the Jog-a-thon at school on Friday the 15th.  The kids had a blast.  They did a great job running.  I got to run with them some of the time and Nana got to play nurse to several scrapped knees.

On the 18th we went to see Madagascar 3 with Nana.  Adam and Lily didn't have school and we felt like it was the best thing to do with some time off.  We enjoyed the film and the laughs.

Nana left on Tuesday and the kids still had the day off.  I taught a cooking class.  The kids learned how to make pizza and pancakes.  That was fun.

Noah and I have been by ourselves the rest of the week and we have gone to the beach twice.  I have decided that going to the beach is much better than dealing with the reality of life and all its complexities.  We grabbed our next door neighbor so Noah had someone to play with and I grabbed a book (well, my kindle).

 The kids had their art show/open house at school on Thursday.  They did a great job on their work this year.  It's always fun to see them progress.

 Friday after we got back from the beach we picked up the other two from school and headed back out to the beach for some late afternoon sun, waves and dinner.  Damon ended up joining us for the last hour.  It was a nice evening out.
